[Location: Esphor-4, Science Pillar University, Underground Base]

[10:00 AM, January 1, 2831, CE]

In the dark room, you could see a group of 5 people looking at each other. As the lights of the projector turned on, letting them see a hologram in front of them, the projector showed a planet. It's the planet Ephesus-6 that just got destroyed 2 months ago. Seeing this, the people in the room looked at it with a frown as they understood what happened in that place.

"I believe you already know what happened on Ephesus-6, but we need more intel about this. That's why we brought you here today. I want to know more about the disaster that happened on the planet Ephesus-6" A man in black said as he looked at the other four people sitting as they listened to him. As suddenly as one of the people spoke, it was Roland.

"Why now? What about the information we have given when we are at Ephesus-6? Is it lacking or something?" Roland asked why now, not before, as this might become more of a problem if they miss a single detail that the man in black noticed. After all, the growth of that thing is already dangerous.

"It's because of the intel I've found that the people in the higher echelons of our society seemed to want to mass produce it, especially because it was similar to the original" the man in black said, answering Roland's question on why they needed extra intel so they could easily defeat it next time.

"You are wrong. They do not have a single bit of similarity at all, even though they seemed to have similar form and color. Even if its looks are completely similar, it's not the same, and even the way it fights back is not the same at all. It uses essence, not controlling existence itself. With this huge gap of difference, this thing that they created is not even a real catastrophe at all" Evelyn said to the man in black, correcting him that they are similar at all—the way it fights, its power, and even stating that it's not even close to the level of danger of the original.

"Is that so? Care to explain why? Although I know you already fought 5 originals of those things rather than this imitation, could you tell me your insights about this? This might help us a lot" the man in black said, wanting to know more because even though he has not fought a single original, he knew fighting just one was already equivalent to a death sentence, even if you had countless Essence users by your side fighting it. So for Evelyn to survive five of those things in his entire life is actually no joke. This level of feat is already enough to make him one of the 10 council, yet he declined it.

"It's be-" Before Evelyn could even finish speaking, a red-haired woman spoke up. It was Seraphina, and her hand was high in the air.

"Oh! I know! The fake one has a weakness while the original one doesn't have a weakness, and the weakness of the fake one is it's ovary although those white petals protected the ovary so it's hard to hit it, oh also I heard this voices that sing when fighting so it's unlikely to be an original because the original does not let out voices that sing but letting out a beautiful melody at that" Seraphina said with enthusiasm like a little girl wanted to be praised, as she had also fought an original although only once one thing that she always knew is that the flower does not sing but let out a melody like wanting to appease all of existence but as an Essence User she knew that this thing must return to the It's home.

"Is that correct?" The man in black asked Evelyn if what Seraphina just said was correct, and their difference is so huge that it's not the same at all.

"Yes, it's correct, but there's one more thing: it's got a job" Evelyn said as Roland, the other person, and the man in black looked at him, while Seraphina snapped her fingers as if remembering that just now, as she said.

"That's right, how could I forget it's job? What's its job again?" Seraphina said as she forgot what those 'things' jobs were.

"You're already in such a high position, Seraphina, yet you still forgot it. You really need to relearn everything again" the other person said as he looked at Seraphina, who looked at him with a pout.

"Shut up! Philip Wang, your words are not needed because I already remembered them" Seraphina said to Philip, who still smiled at this, like he didn't mind what Seraphina just said.

"Heh~ really? Then please do tell me what it's job again" Philip said sarcastically to Seraphina, who seemed to have been angered by what he just said.

"You blondes loving cigarettes. You and your daughter, Isabella Valeria, are no different at all. Also, it's job is to turn itself into something" Seraphina said, as she doesn't know what it's turning into. Hearing this, the man in black wrote it on paper.

"Not turn it self into, but find someone who is actually an Eternal Maiden, but of course doing so will annihilate anything in their path just to find the Eternal Maiden, and the process of returning to the Eternal Garden is even more destructive as it will annihilate possible ½ or more of all existence just to turn the person picked into an Eternal Maiden so, the Eternal Maiden could survive in the Eternal Garden that's it's job" Evelyn said, correcting what Seraphina said about the 'things' job.

"Won't the existence already disappear if that happened multiple times already?" the man in black, although he has the lowest ranking in this room, but his still knowledgeable about anything that happened, especially since he noticed the movements of the higher echelons before the 4 people in front of him.

"That's because existence heals itself in an instant like nothing happened after everything just happened, but time is needed when life is spreading the entire existence again due to everyone that is living and non-living during the apocalypse having their consciousness and existence merged with that 'Thing'" Philip said, letting the man in black now that everything that happened would be instantly returned to normal but all life that was lost will be lost and need time to recover as everything that had disappeared has merged with the 'Thing'.
